... are you sure about that? They've sold more in two years than the biggest band ever have managed in fifty?

I don't think in total. But they sold relatively more.

See? Some (deranged) people think that One Direction is the biggest band ever (at the moment)...I hate that subjectivity argument.

I can't remember the exact stat but it was f***ing depressing to someone who has a fairly eclectic taste in music and was brought up listening to proper music. Will people remember One Direction in ten let alone 50 years? Hopefully not.

No they won't. Same with that "Talent", "Idol" or X-Factor crap. No one cares in six months time.

Exactly. We've all almost forgotten Westlife already!

Westlife was also (in some way) more succesful than the Beatles...but do you remember one song?

I'd rather not!
God, I'm going to have to off-topic all this now.

That's telepathy, zooo!

Hehe!

I'm sure they played a Westlife song in Miranda, so it's ok.

Whoops! Sorry! I didn't realise that digression in conversation was banned! I'll keep the topic pointing in one direction in the future

It's only on the threads about specific TV shows, etc. Off topic discussion is fine in the General forums!

Wow. Now that is impressive!
